| Governor orders intensified anti-militancy operations during 60-day Amarnath Yatra | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, June 20: Governor of Jammu and Kashmir NN Vohra on Wednesday directed the top brass of security forces to ramp up anti-militancy operations in the state during the Amarnath Yatra, which will go on for 60 days starting 28 June. Convoys of pilgrims will pass through militancy hotbed south Kashmir, where the youth often take to the streets in large numbers to foil anti-militancy operations.
Vohra gave the order at the review meeting he held with the top brass of security forces. Senior officials from the civic administration also attended the meeting at Raj Bhawan on Wednesday afternoon. The Governor convened the review meeting immediately after discussing the overall security situation in the Valley with state chief secretary BB Vyas, officials said.
Director General of Jammu and Kashmir Police SP Vaid said anti-militancy operations will be "carried out based on intelligence inputs", and that they will go on even during the Amarnath Yatra.
A top government official said that Vohra had earlier held a meeting with the administrative secretaries of various departments at the Secretariat and asked them to improve their functioning. Officials said that during the review meeting, they had also discussed the role various departments could play to ensure that the Amarnath Yatra progresses smoothly.
The meetings were held hours after Vohra issued the proclamation to impose Governor's Rule in Jammu and Kashmir after President of India Ram Nath Kovind approved it. |
